I was planning on kitbashing an elaborate Iron Father to use as an Iron Hands Chapter Master with Thunderhammer and "The Shield Eternal". My initial plan was to use a Vanguard or Sternguard Veteran or a Master of the Chapter figure as a starting off point and then add a servo arm and some gears and such.
That was the plan until I saw a picture of the Ferrus Manus figure from ForgeWorld. That was when I realized that anything I could glue together and cover with greenstuff wouldn't look a tenth as awesome as the official miniature for the Primarch of the Iron hands.
Now, I don't collect any Horus Heresy stuff but I am seriously considering calling up ForgeWorld and ordering one of these. It would be a shame to keep Ferrus on a shelf forever so it occurred to me, "Couldn't I just use him as my chapter master?"
Would any of you have any problem if I plunked the Ferrus Manus figure down in a regular game of 40k and said "this is my Chapter Master". I know that he is scaled larger than a normal marine but he is probably only taller by a head or two. His base might be a little wider but would that make much of a difference? What do you guys say. Could I play him with Chapter Master stats in a regular 40k game?
